Re: Mustang Pilot Information
The recce missions flown by Army Co-operation Command Mustangs over Dieppe were flown by pairs of aircraft or single aircraft. Cliff and Kennedy were a pair and both pilots were lost there are no contemporary reports. Dawson, Gompertz and Burlingham were all flying solo missions and once again there are no contemporary reports. From the available documents it is only possible to obtain very broad descriptions of the areas in which the pilots were intended to fly. For example Gompertz was tasked to "...cover an area near Dieppe..."
It may be that these losses were officially investigated after the War but as far as I know any reports are not available publicly.
